THE SURVIVAL GUIDE FOR KIDS WITH AUTISM SPECTRUM DISORDERS (AND THEIR PARENTS)

Book ID/图书代码： 04960012B54392

English Summary/英文概要： This positive, straightforward book offers kids with autism spectrum disorders (ASDs) their own comprehensive resource for both understanding their condition and finding tools to cope with the challenges they face every day. Some children with ASDs are gifted; others struggle academically. Some are more introverted, while others try to be social. Some get "stuck" on things, have limited interests, or experience repeated motor movements like flapping or pacing ("stims"). "The Survival Guide for Kids with Autism Spectrum Disorders "covers all of these areas, with an emphasis on helping children gain new self-understanding and self-acceptance. Meant to be read with a parent, the book addresses questions ("What’s an ASD?" "Why me?") and provides strategies for communicating, making and keeping friends, and succeeding in school. Body and brain basics highlight symptom management, exercise, diet, hygiene, relaxation, sleep, and toileting. Emphasis is placed on helping kids handle intense emotions and behaviors and get support from family and their team of helpers when needed. The book includes stories from real kids, fact boxes, helpful checklists, resources, and a glossary. Sections for parents offer more detailed information.

Chinese Summary/中文概要： 这本积极、直接的书为自闭症患儿提供了他们自己的综合资源，使其理解自身现状并找到应对日常挑战的工具。一些自闭症患儿极具天赋，而另一些在学习上有很大困难。一些患儿更内向，而另一些试图参加社交。有些患儿遇事就卡壳，兴趣有限，或重复进行机械运动，如摇晃或踱步（“兴奋”）。《自闭症儿童的生存指南》涵盖了以上所有领域，并突出了如何帮助患儿重新认识自我和接纳自我。本书应由家长陪同阅读，它解答了一些问题（如“什么是自闭症？”“为什么是我？”），它还为如何沟通、如何交朋友和维持友谊、及如何在校取得成功提供了策略。身体和大脑的基本要素强调症状管理、锻炼、饮食、卫生、放松、睡眠和如厕。强调帮助患儿处理强烈情绪和行为，并在需要时从家人和辅助团队处获得帮助。书中的故事取自真人、速见表、有用的检查表、相关资源和专业词典。专为家长准备的部分提供了更多详细的信息。(LNL)

Awards/获奖情况：弗迪克和丽芙均为自闭症患儿的母亲，她们直接、真诚、有效地进行了陈述，并用亲身经历告知读者，如何应对因为自闭症而反复无常的生活。本书开篇，她们先向孩子作简单的介绍，之后再向理应陪同孩子一起阅读的家长作介绍。在第一部分，两位作者给出了具有启发性的背景信息，但并没有讨论过多细节，以积极推动全文发展。第二部分提供了大量建议：在学校干什么、在家干什么、和兄弟姐妹一起玩什么、关于饮食习惯、还有必不可少的关键章节，如何“排便”和“排尿”。在整本书内，两位作者加入了自闭症患儿的真实事例，及他们不断探索解决之道的努力。本书和其它很多以自助为标题的书的一大不同之处在于，这些孩子并不总能找到解决问题的方法；有时，在事例结尾，他们还是不喜欢尝试新食物，或他们还得花大力气才能迫使自己尝试新事物。书中介绍的患儿代表不同种族和不同性别。本书的版式拥有丰富的色彩，主色调在每页的排版上都发挥了重大作用。对那些需要帮助的家庭来说，本书可能是珍贵的资源，它有助于成功解决自闭症严重患儿所面临的一些问题。书要买两本；因为一本是肯定要被用烂的。——《学校图书馆斯刊》
